Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, and bell pepper (if using).
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. The mixture should hold together when formed into patties. If it seems too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
Step 2: Form the Patties
Shape the Mixture: Using your hands, shape the salmon mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You can make them thicker or thinner based on your preference.
Step 3: Cook the Patties
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat.
Fry the Patties: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Garnish and Serve: Serve the salmon patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or a squeeze of lemon. Pair with a side salad, coleslaw, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Tips and Variations:
Substitute Fish: You can substitute canned tuna or fresh cooked fish if you prefer a different flavor.
Add Spices: Feel free to add your favorite spices or hot sauce to the mixture for an extra kick.
Baking Option: For a healthier version, you can bake the patties at 375°F (190°C) on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in the skillet or oven.
